Reaching hundred with a six

Iran Pathan reached his maiden Test hundred in style - hitting Danish Kaneria for a six to move from 96 to 102. He, in the course, became only the seventh Indian to perform this feat. Tendulkar has done so as many as four times!

The following table lists Indian batsmen reaching the three figure mark with a six. Pathan follows into the foot-steps of Kapil Dev, who also performed this feat while scoring his maiden Test hundred. Sehwag also reached his triple hundred with a six.
